Yankee fans will long remember 1995 as the year that rookies Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte debuted in pinstripes.

From Jason Heyward's home run in his first major league at-bat on Opening Day to the debut of Stephen Strasburg, this has been a big year for rookies, and it's only June.

"It certainly has the potential to be historic," says Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus. "But the first thing I thought of was 1986 ... (a class that's) crazy hard to beat. This one could be great, but of course we won't know for 20 years. Now, in the span of a few days last week, you had Strasburg (my No. 1 prospect), (Marlins outfielder Mike) Stanton (5) and (Indians catcher Carlos) Santana (8) all brought up. I've never seen anything like that before, as far as the compression of the callups, not to mention (Pirates third baseman Pedro) Alvarez (6) this week and Heyward (2) at the beginning of the year. Oh yeah, we just got (Buster) Posey (9, though he had a cup of coffee last year) pretty recently too. That is nuts."

Feller was in attendance for Strasburg's second game in Cleveland, and was quoted on AOL FanHouse as saying, "Call me when he wins his first 100."

He's right - Strasburg is off to an excellent start, and the debut class of 2010 has glorious potential, but to truly be a year remembered for its rookies, those players will have to prove it for the long haul.
